Went to White Last night... Thought I'd give an update for those who haven't been there in a while. The weeds are up big time compared to when I was out there two weeks ago even.

We did pretty well. Found a few spots to try on the tourney day if the conditions are right.

I wanna fish with someone who knows the lake really well. ;D  Just kidding.  I just want to have a good time.  Looking forward to meeting everyone.

I'm usually a quick stop at the McDonalds and hit the lake or highway over there...?

I went out to White Lake with a friend yesterday for about 6 hours or so.  The skies were high and bright and the wind was light and variable.  I would say our 5 went about 12 or 13 lbs.  The odd part of the day was we caught 3 small mouth all under 14" which is unheard of for White Lake and 1 nice walleye, he was tasty!  There was really no pattern yesterday.  I would say the best bait was a lipless crank.  We also caught nice fish on a shakey head and a 10" worm.  All in different spots too.  The fishing was kind of tough but every large mouth we caught was a good one.  I would have been a good tournament day...we came up with 5 good bites.  All in all we had a good day and we wrapped it up with Dog N Suds.  

However I did forget to look around for a good food and drink place.  I did drive past the Wayside Bar & Grill on my way it and it looks like a bar...but I was reading online and they have a perch special on Friday and Saturday night.  Here is a list from the Chambers site.

Gary's restaurant has a good breakfast, gets pretty crowded with locals though.

Mike S.

In north Muskegon, maybe 10 minutes form White lake, is a place called Hobo's tavern.  May be a good place for a couple of beers.

Mike S.

There is a Russ' restaurant off of 31 at the Freemont exit in North Muskegon.  I don't know what time they open on Sunday mornings, but I will find out and let you guys know.  It is maybe 10 minutes from the lake.  I live 2 minutes from the restaurant.  There aren't too many places for an early breakfast anymore.  On Apple Ave. there is a place called Papa Bears.  Not a bad place to go.  There is also a Bob Evans on Apple right next to 31 heading North.  I haven't gone to Whitehall or Montague for breakfast ever, so I can't say for sure if there's anything there or not....other than Mc Donalds.  As for a place for a few beers, there is an Applebees on Sherman off of 31.  Right next door is a WalMart, so there is plenty of parking for the boats.  There is also another place in North Muskegon called the Westside Inn.  They have decent food, and cold beer!  Also right off the highway.

Cy

Every Russ' is closed on Sundays, so I would recommend not stopping there...you will be still hungry when you leave. :D

10" worm...that's right, don't leave home with 'em!

BTW, as far as grass goes, yes there is lots.  Some of it is starting to die but a lot of it is good and green.  The one thing that is a little different then normal are the grass mats.  The huge thick grass carpet is not there this year.  There is some smaller sections of it but not anything like years past.

well, crapelbees for beers/food saturday night and micky'ds for bfast? the micky'ds on our side open at 6:00am what about on the west side?

djkimmel

So... maybe the whole weed issue is just semantics...??

For breakfast, I'll probably have to eat in Lansing right after I leave home. We'll see about after. If someone promises to keep me awake on the drive home and any of my passengers can stay around a bit. I like to eat, that's for sure ;D

Well, I guess I won't go see if Russ' is open on Sunday.  I was told that Mcdonalds doesn't open until 7 on Sundays. :-[  Better pack a breakfast.

Cy

For those of you not familiar with the White Hall and Montague are...if McDonald's isn't open you should stop in the Wesco gas station.  IMHO they have some of the best donuts and other baked goods around.  I mean they are really good.  There is one on Colby Rd as you get of US-31 and there is one on Water St in Montague less than 1/2 east of the boat launch.

I was just over at the Northside Inn this evening, and they have some darn good pizza.  A major bonus though was the $5 pitchers.

bob o

not to sound like too much of a beer snob, but $5 pitchers of what?

signed, the beer snob
